Survive kernel updates on a /boot this small
Some checks failed
build image / build (push) Has been cancelled

A dnf upgrade to 7.1.8 installed the kernel rpm cleanly, then ran /boot out
of space. dracut wrote no initramfs, and because kernel-install stops at the
first failing plugin, 95-c630-devicetree never ran either — leaving a boot
entry with neither an initrd nor a devicetree line, which on this machine can
never boot. dnf reported success and nothing retried.

A kernel costs ~336 MiB here: a 210 MiB hostonly=no initramfs, a 98 MiB
dtb-<kver> directory carrying every board's device tree, plus vmlinuz and
System.map. Three of those cannot fit 1 GiB, so /boot goes to 2 GiB and
installonly_limit drops to 2.

Also fixes the quieter half of the same trap. snd-soc-wsa881x lives outside
the kernel package, so the speakers go silent after any kernel update with
nothing in the logs to explain it. c630-wsa881x rebuilds it and
96-c630-wsa881x.install calls it on each kernel-install add — always exiting
0, since a plugin failure is precisely what caused the damage above.

grub.cfg gains the next_entry one-shot block that has been carried by hand all
along, so testing a kernel costs a power cycle rather than a rescue.

Because the module lives outside the kernel package, it has to be rebuilt for
every kernel, and the symptom of forgetting is unhelpful: the speakers simply
go silent after a `dnf upgrade`, with nothing in the logs tying the two
together. `overlay/usr/local/sbin/c630-wsa881x` does the rebuild — it fetches
`wsa881x.c` at the matching upstream tag, builds it against `kernel-devel` and
installs it — and `overlay/etc/kernel/install.d/96-c630-wsa881x.install` calls
it on every `kernel-install add`. That hook always exits 0: `kernel-install`
stops at the first plugin that fails, and a missing compiler costing you the
speakers is a far better outcome than it costing you the `devicetree` line and
therefore the machine. It needs `gcc`, `make`, `kernel-devel` and a network,
none of which the minimal image installs, so on a fresh image run it by hand
once:
```sh
sudo dnf install -y gcc make kernel-devel
sudo c630-wsa881x
```
None of this is necessary once Fedora sets the config; see
[drafts/fedora-wsa881x-request.md](drafts/fedora-wsa881x-request.md).
The UCM profile has been in alsa-ucm-conf since 2020; `alsaucm` itself is in
`alsa-ucm-utils`, so on the minimal image:
